“WHY, THE MEN I MEET.”

     What is he driving at?

113—­Both—­in wider view.

     Florence wondering.  He changes expression.  Growing tension. 
     Asks her: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “WHERE DO YOU MEET—­THESE MEN?”

     She looks wide-eyed—­surprised—­answers: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “I MEET THEM—­AS I DID YOU—­”

     Blinker aghast.  Asks: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “DO YOU KNOW SO MANY?”

     She allows herself a laugh—­says: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “WELL I’M NOT EXACTLY A WALL FLOWER.”

     He turns away.

114—­Close-up of Blinker.

     Growing tension—­it is sinking in, and finally his
     expression grows harder.

115—­Close-up of Florence.

     She wonders—­finally asks: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “WHAT’S WRONG?”

     Her lips part in amazed terror.

116—­New angle.  Close-up of Blinker.

     Swings upon her and cries: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “EVERYTHING’S WRONG!  WHY DON’T YOU SEE THESE—­THESE MEN—­AT
     YOUR HOME?  IS IT NECESSARY TO MEET EVERY TOM, DICK AND
     HARRY—­OUTSIDE?”

     He is growing furious.  So that is the sort she is!

117—­Profile close-up of Florence.

     She laughs.  Her voice is brassy-hard, saying: 

Cut-in leader—­

     “IF YOU COULD SEE ‘BRICKDUST ROW’ YOU WOULDN’T ASK THAT.  THE
     FELLOW WHO OWNS IT DOESN’T GIVE US ANY PLACE TO RECEIVE—­AND
     WE CAN’T TAKE FELLOWS TO OUR ROOM—­SO—­”

     Shrugs.

118—­Wider-angle view, with Blinker nearest camera.

     Tension.  Big scene as he gets over his horror and disgust
     and she realizes it, and rising, disillusioned—­exactly as
     he feels that he is disillusioned about her—­Sudden pause—­

119—­Deck, ad lib.

     Fire!  Excitement.  “Where?”—­“What’ll we do?"[56]

[Footnote 56:  Sketchy, as this sort of material has to depend on boat, crowd, director, etc.  Continuity only required.]

120—­Deck, another part.

     Panic.  Woman screams.

121—­Walking beam.

     Excited scattering of crowd.  Florence turning away—­Bill
     coming forward—­Blinker listening.  He grabs Florence by arm. 
     She draws away.  He compels her to go.

122—­Deck.

     Tension.  Wild scene.

123—­Walking beam.

     Bill follows, crowd intervening, as Blinker takes Florence
     off.  Bill gets after them.

124—­Boat davits.

     Wild scene.  Officer.  Sailors.  Fire and smoke.  Blinker with
     Florence.  Takes her away—­another boat!
